The Romans dubbed the El Chorro mountains ‘the Hills of Hell’. Maybe looking at the Garganta del Chorro, better known as the "El Chorro" you might see why.





Why "El Chorro" (The Jet)? There is a strong and visible jet of water springing from one of those caves inside the gorge. Find it on the pic above!
